The King's Singers Collection

Search: Thank You For The Music
by: The King's Singers

Release Date June 02, 2008
Having always admired the King's Singers, I was keen to have an example of their performances. This collection seemed a good option covering all sorts of different music.

However, I have been very disappointed, and have now given the CDs away ! Most of the discs are of 'popular' music, and to a large extent miss out the excellent performances of classical music of all periods. In addition, alot of the tracks have a backing accompaniment. I was looking for the unaccompanied sound.

I should probably have looked mroe carefully at the CD track lists, and if they are your sort of music, this may be a good buy.

ABBA The Album

Search: Thank You For The Music
by: Abba

Release Date November 05, 2007
Fantastic album -that goes without saying.

Lovely package and booklet although the 'tracing paper' insert is a bit of a pain!

I must admit I was very disappointed with the DVD. The performances are just them miming over tracks at various TV shows. The mini documentary features are very bland and feel emotionally cold.

What I'd like to have seen on the package (and any future ones)

*New interviews with members of the group talking about each album track in detail. Genesis of track, lyrics, early versions/mixes etc
*More actual live material
*Features with the people involved in the album, including those working on the reissue project.

The Complete Studio Recordings

Search: Thank You For The Music
by: Abba

Release Date August 05, 2008
This set does not, despite the title, include the complete studio recordings. However, every studio track previously released is here. There are even about three exclusive tracks (or rather alternative versions of existing songs) not available anywhere else. To get the rest, you'd probably have to separately buy double the number of CD's included here, such is the rarity of some of the tracks. For instance, "I Am The City" was only previously included on "More Abba Gold" which has now been deleted.

The only things you won't find in this set are the live recordings, however a new live CD is allegedly in the pipeline which will hopefully take care of these. Only two or three live recordings are currently available on CD elsewhere.
